Food Packaging and Food Container Testing

QIMA provides inspections and lab testing for food containers and food contact items across a number of international standards and safety regulations.

QC Tailored for the Food Container Industry

Because of the prolonged exposure to food and drink, all food contact items are a high-risk product category. The quality of food containers has a direct impact on the condition and safety of food stored and packaged inside them. Meanwhile, food contact items in daily use must remain safe throughout their useful life and under extreme conditions, such as heat, microwave radiation, and dishwashing. Because of this, reliable quality control and safety testing are of paramount importance to every supplier, manufacturer, and distributor of food containers and food contact items.

At QIMA, we offer fast and accurate inspection and lab testing for food contact items, packaging, and containers, providing you with the best in client service and technical guidance.
